lawyer here, and publisher of the Luzerne
County Legal Register, by L.W. De Witt,
also a lawyer in good standing. De Witt
entered the law office of Kulp, and, with
out any warning, presented pistol at
the latter's head remarklng: Prepare to
die" Kulp arose quickly and grappled
with his assailant, who in the scufile that
ensued fired harmless shot. The assas-
sin hurriedIy left the office, but was ar
rested soon after the shooting and taken
to prison. De Witt was given a hearing
and was committed to prison in default

Protection.

The Mayor win Assist In the Fight For
Protection.
The Mayor In company with repu'
table citizsns visited the attorney
general and clerk Of peace in order to
see what could be done TO protect the
people from what they considered
might prove Q great swindle In the
shape Of clothing, gathered up from
motif eaten, shelf worns rotten lots OF
stores that have been boycotted In
|Philadelphia ard other cities. These
land sharks will do their utmost to
make their actions appear square. 30
the law will get no grasp on them. The
people of Wilmington ought to DO pro-
tected against such speculators. BE.
ware of prison made articles OF shoddy
material. Beware OF al land sharks
who sell the odds and ends OF auction
houses and make you pay prices that
will buy honest goods II they get you
In their clutches.
The people have had these swfndles
pfacticed on them too often, and some
thing should be done by our Council to
prevent their repetition. There are
enough reliable, permanent houses In
IWilmiugtou, and the good
public ought to take this little warning
into cons Iteration. When q merchant
| like the proprietor Of the "Grand Cen.
trail" can sell boys suit as low NJ u.
will you buy Of travelling humbues?
When merchant like the proprietor OF
| the 'Grand Central will sell You. .
cashmere suit for $3.50, will you buy
Iof "Racket sales" that come here to
humbug you? When you can buy .
diagonal frock, sack or . cutaway suit
for 80 90, worth 80 per cent. more, will
You buy moth eaten, shelf worn, rotten
goods that they can't dispose OF In their
Town city, but come here and palm 1t OF
on the public and advertising It some
IhumbuR tale or some other kind Of .
disguise sale. Let the people stick
together and give such travelling hum
bugs . v ide berth, and then - long -
bouses exist In Wilmington like the
"Grspd Central Clothing Depot" and
other Hrst class reputable houses where
goods ars sold at q small profit, there 10
no occasion TO tolerate or allow travel
ing humbug racket sales 70 come here
and impose on the citizens, and O0uu-
Gil should do something at the next
meeting to make such eehemesters
keep away from our city like they do
in others.
